Uluru Base Tour and Sunset with Optional BBQ Dinner

This half-day trip gives you a straightforward way to see Uluru from ground level, learn more about its cultural significance and finish with sunset views. You’ll travel by air-conditioned coach with a driver guide who shares background on Aboriginal stories, ancient rock art, local flora and fauna, and the Anangu, Uluru’s traditional owners. If you want to turn it into a bigger evening out, there’s also the option to add a BBQ dinner in the national park.

You’ll be picked up from your hotel and taken by coach around the base of Uluru. Along the way, your driver guide explains the history of the area and the meaning of the site through Aboriginal stories and cultural commentary. You’ll also hear about the landscape, wildlife and rock art connected to Uluru. The trip wraps up at sunset, when the changing light over the rock is the main event. If you’ve booked the dinner option, you’ll head to a BBQ site set among red sand dunes and desert oaks for a meal of Australian meats and salads with drinks included. Tea, coffee and dessert follow, and your guide finishes the evening with a night sky talk using a spotlight to point out visible constellations, weather permitting.
